while i am glad my vitamins work, i didn't expect to get facial hair too-wth?

[FineChyna]

Ever since I switched up vitamins I noticed that I am getting hairy in places i really don't want hair.

My hair is dark and my skin is on the light side so I know it stands out big time

Last week I saw i had a dark fuzz line above the lip and was in the bathroom shaving it. That is the most fuzz I have ever seen on my lip (I had some before but not that bad)

Well unfortunately for me I didn't close the door all the way and my boyfriend came in and gave me the face and then said "what in the hell are you doing ?"

Needless to say I was super embarrassed and tried to downplay the fact that I had some facial hair but to be honest it has never been THIS BAD, even when i was takening GNC HSN

Then today I look in the mirror at work and see some hair growing out the side of my face near my ear and that the fuzz on the lip is showing again. Then my legs which used to be rarely fuzzy (I used to shave only 2x's a month cause the hair was so fine) now seeming need to be done a lot more. Even my eyebrows grow in a lot quicker so I need a touchup with the wax more often.

I feel like freak of nature now. I would wax my facial hair but i am scared it would hurt too bad.

I wanted to take a month or 2 off from the vitamins because I felt that it wasn't helping the hair on my head, but now I see it is helping me look like a man I was soooooooo not expecting this

Anyone else have this problem?

I am having the same problem. I have had to have my face waxed 3 times in the last 2 months. I want healthy hair and growth BUT, I am sick of this facial hair. I have had it in the past but never this much.

I guess there is a flip side to everythang. Sigh,Sign

LOL i think the hair on our faces is growing 2xs faster than the one on our head. YIKES

You think you got it bad. I let some MTG drip on my face and whollah, "I'm Ashanti circa 2002."

Plus, just like you I have a yellowish undertone but thank God I am toasty brown because of the summer cause it is less noticeable.

I'm saving up $400 for laser hair removal of my side burns.

I'm having the same problem on my chin. I always had small fine hairs on my face but it was never a problem for me, but now my chin has them growing in kinda thick and random. Its not a beard, but its enough that i'm researching and saving for a lazer treatment to remove them. For now, I cary a pair of tweezers with me every where i go, and i keep a spare in my car, bookbag, and purse just in case.

I'm having the same problem, cept on my chest

i'm on hair, skin and nails.

 

[AwesomelyNappy]

oh, let me not forget... in addition to the unexpected hair growth in areas other than my head.... another side effect of the vits is ACNE!!! UGGGGG!!! sometimes it feels as tho i have small marbles under my skin!!! And with my strong and long fingernails (another side effect), i cant help popping them! Seeing those little whiteheads is too tempting... my fingers become lobster claws and i start picking at my face...i dont even realize i'm doing it some times and now i have to deal with acne scars, acne, and facial hair!!!

needless to say, i've been on a month hiatus from the vits... in a week or two, i'll start back up... but slowly in small amounts with a LOT of water...

Ohh...BIG no no. Don't shave have the stash.!!! You can wax or use a face creme. Waxing is not that bad. Shaving will just make it grow back thicker and it will leave that "shadow" mark...trust...bad experiences. I now use either the Nair Face creme or the Sally Hansen version. Neither one hurts. Just leave on for 5-10 and then wipe off. They are about $5 and change.

Don't shave do what I did - laser hair removal. If your problem is really bad go to your dermatolgist and get it removed professionally.

Oh I'm SO Glad you sai that I was about to say the exact samething.

I really like the Sally Hansen it's gentle and works really well. Nair still gives me a rash.

I'm with you all on the facial fur. Luckily though I"m more brown than yellow so it tends not to show up so badly.

But I do have a problem with them getting ingrown sometimes.

My skin has cleared up though.

well glad to see i am not the only one. i never though in 1 million years i would have facial hair.

someone else mentioned acne-i always had a slight acne problem but my forehead is jacked now. i have tiny bumps all over the place that looks like hives i am not sure if it is from the vitamins or hair products. i never had a problem before i started really caring for my hair.

 

[Sassenach]

I had the same thing happen when I took Biotin. Naturally, I stopped taking it.

It might be your products. After you get done with them try running a cottonball with witchhazel or something similar around your hairline. And make sure you're drinking enough water too. I notice if I don't drink enough my skin gets jacked up.

And depending on how many products you're using try cutting one out for a week or so to see if you're allergic to one. You can do the same thing with supplements.
